Urs Kryenbühl is once again threatened with a longer break. The man from Schwyz suffered a complex knee injury in the first downhill training session in Beaver Creek.
During the run on the Birds of Prey, Kryenbühl received a blow to his right knee, which had already been damaged several times. He immediately swung off.
Initial examinations in the USA revealed a complex knee injury, as Swiss-Ski announced on Wednesday. The 30-year-old speed specialist from the B squad is now traveling back to Switzerland, where further clarifications are pending.
Kryenbühl's last appearance in the World Cup was almost two years ago. In the Super-G in Bormio, he also had to end his race prematurely due to severe pain in his right knee. The bitter diagnosis was a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament.
Almost two years earlier, Kryenbühl had suffered a broken collarbone, a concussion and a torn cruciate and medial collateral ligament in his right knee during his terrible fall at the finish of the downhill in Kitzbühel.
